(Joseph) Nicéphore Niepce Biography (1765–1833)
born in Chalon-sur-Saône, EC France. One of the inventors of photography, he served in the army, and in 1795 became administrator of Nice. At Chalon in 1801 he devoted himself to chemistry, and in 1822 succeeded in obtaining a photographic copy of an engraving superimposed on glass. At length he succeeded in producing a permanent photographic image on metal (1826), said to be the world's first. From 1829 he co-operated with Louis Daguerre in further research.
